At just 8 years old, Nina-Mae already has Wellington Council listening! 👏

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

She’s speaking up for safer roads for her and her classmates—fuelled by a desire for independence and maybe even a budding interest in politics.

So here’s the big question: how do we create space for every voice in our community to be heard?
It’s great that the Council is paying attention 👂 but what small actions can we all take to keep our whole community involved and engaged?

Mute Swan. 2017-1

Paul from Levin

Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.

Quote for the Day

Mike from Paraparaumu

Interviewer:
"Do you think that the British class system has finally ended?"
Upper-middle class Romance author, Dame Barbara Cartland:
"Well, of course it has; otherwise I would't be sitting here, talking to someone like you!"

Happy New Year [hopefully!]
Mike
